Fans already knew Bandai Namco and Project Aces were working on it, but now it's officially official: Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve has been announced.

The arcade action flight sim is coming to PS5 in 2026, as revealed in the debut trailer:

The presentation looks excellent and more cinematic than usual, immersing you in a first person perspective as characters talk to you about your mission.

We've no doubt the gameplay will be largely what we've come to expect from the series, with tight, smooth controls as you dogfight among the clouds.

Details are fairly thin on the ground right now, but we're super excited to learn more.
